Dimensions Of Space The Time Traveller
3,229 wordsChapter I. The Time Machine The Time Traveller (for so it will be convenient to speak of him) was expounding a recondite matter to us. His grey eyes shone and twinkled, and his usually pale face was flushed and animated. The fire burned brightly, and the soft radiance of the incandescent lights in the lilies of silver caught the bubbles that flashed and passed in our glasses. Our chairs, being his patents, embraced and caressed us rather than submitted to be sat upon, and there was that luxuriou...

Case And The Time Traveller
2,049 wordsA common tool of science fiction writers is the use of a character, to whom the reader can relate, placed in an alien setting. This character will represent the reader in this new alien world or society, allowing the reader to form a link between his or her own world and this new one. Because these characters are placed in unfamiliar settings, a way is presented to de familiarize our own society and perhaps even look at it in a new way, or from a new angle. These characters play a role in the no...

Energy From The Black Hole
1,132 wordsThe theory that black holes have existed is not new at all. The thought of them first started in 1783 when Rev.

The story was written during the Victorian times (1895), by H.G. Wells. Lord of the Flies involves a group of boys who crash land on an island, in the middle of nowhere. It begins as...

Ramp Meter
508 wordsMs. Elaine Jones Dear Ms. Jones, Congratulations on your recent move to Milwaukee. This truly is a great city, and every member of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation strives to make it even greater.

This is simply because there is nothing positive in the book. Whilst there are individual events that provok...
